My dad who is 56, has a really bad torn meniscus on his knee. I believe that there is literally nothing that the body cannot heal itself of an that this is about to be healed. I want to put him on a strict Vegan diet for at least 6 weeks with Hydrotherapy on the area 2 times a day. We are going to get this product that Dr. Schulze sells called deep tissue oil. Go to www.herbdoc.com to find it. It is an amazing herbal formula that heals bones, muscles, tendons and many various problems while also helping with the pain.

I do not want him to go through Surgery as I believe that that does not really help that much and surgery is something that should by all means, be avoided.

What else can he be doing for his knee to heal up. Even though they say it will not heal, I believe it will.

My doctor thinks it's a mosquito that's been biting me, but I think it might be bedbugs. I haven't seen any yet, nor have I seen a mosquito. I live in Brooklyn, NY in an apartment building. All I know is I have horrible allergic reactions to the bites. So, does a bite from a bedbug sting enough to wake you up in the night?

I got an industrial piercing on 10/26, during the proceeding days it got bumped a few times while giving hugs, etc. now about a week and 1/2 ago it's still a little sore but i am able to clean it without pain & spin it when i get out of the shower etc. however, the two holes are still pretty swollen, they don't hurt to touch, theyre not that red, and they have not pussed or bled. Could it be infected, or is it just healing from the bumps and pokes??

heres a picture:

I walked on it all day yesterday and now I cry when I even stand on it. Do i go to the ER and get an X-ray or wait until next Tuesday. Is there anything else I can do besdies ice it and elevate it? Should i get an ACE bandage or something like that? Should I take advil or pain releavers I haven't yet.

I have been on Suboxone for approximately one month and have decided to stop taking it and see if I can live healthy without it. It has been 192 hours since my last dose and I am still feeling WD symptoms. Any idea of when I will start to feel normal again? I have a constant, dull pain in my back and my sleep at night sucks. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Today is Tuesday, Sunday night I was shaving my arm pits and everything was fine. Then I woke up on Monday and my arm pit hurt. I went to touch it and there is a knot under the skin about the size of a pea. It was really sore on Monday and today its not as sore, but the size of the knot has not changed. Till this happened I've never noticed a knot being there. (how many of us go around feeling up our arm pits). There is no razor burn there, just the sore pea size knot. Any suggestions?

Whenever I turn on the T.V the commercial always comes on it does not explain much…. or more like anything about the product. It just keeps saying “head on, apply directly to the forehead…
It’s really annoying!

I broke my big toe a week ago so they put me on antibotics. I had an infection because a piece of the bone in my toe chipped off. I took all of the antibotics. Two days after I finished them a large lump appeared on same foot but on the bottom of my foot. Just curious if this is related. Can a bone fragment move?

During the past couple months, the base of my big toe on my right foot sometimes hurts for no reason! I could just be sitting down and it'll start hurting and a few minutes later, the pain will go away but then it'll return again hours or days later. My toe looks fine. There's no bruising or swelling of it, it just randomly hurts. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?
